EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The banking system in Pakistan has witnesses some evolutionary changes
during the recent years and has made long-strides towards its goal of becoming a
financially viable as well as firm arm of the economy which in turn would
promote not only growth but also prosperity not only of the banking sector but
of the economy as a whole. As vibrant and dynamic banking sector is vital for
the strong and prosperous economy. Therefore, on realizing the inherent
weakness of the financial structure that emerged after nationalization,
government of Pakistan initiated a broad based program of reforms in the
financial sector. In this way Government’s commitment to banking reforms has
made Pakistan’s financial sector stronger in the last four to five. The banking
sector has shown remarkable performance in a number of areas which has helped
in further strengthening of the whole process.
Banking industry is presently facing a hyper turbulent situation where
banks have to operate in increasingly competitive and complex local and global
markets. The ability to compete in the fast paced global environment is of
paramount importance – survival of the fittest being the name of the game. The
competition has even become ever tough and challenging with the entry of many
foreign world-class banks and other financial institutions.
In this report i have explained the evolution of banking sector, the
industry background which leads to different reforms. Then i have explained the
background of NBP its different products and services. After doing all this We
have explained the products and services. Based on the data taken, i have done
financial analysis, competitive analysis, ratio analysis, HR analysis. In the last I

CHAPTER# 3
BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND DEPARTMENTS OF NBP
Dividing an organization into different parts according to the functions is
called departments. So NBP can be divided into the following main
departments.
3.1 DEPARTMENTS OF NBP
3.1.1 CASH DEPARTMENT
Cash department performs the following functions
3.1.2 Receipt
The money, which either comes or goes out from the bank, its record
should be kept. Cash department performs this function. The deposits
of all customers of the bank are controlled by means of ledger
accounts. Every customer has its own ledger account and has separate
ledger cards.
3.1.3 Payments
It is a banker’s primary contract to repay money received for this
customer’s account usually by honoring his cheques.
3.1.4 Cheques and their Payment
The Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881
“Cheque is a bill of exchange drawn on a specified banker and not
expressed to be payable otherwise than on demand”.
19

3.1.5 Types of Cheques
3.1.5(i) Bearer Cheques
Bearer cheques are cashable at the counter of the bank. These
can also be collected through clearing.
3.1.5(ii) Order Cheque
These types of cheques are also cashable on the counter but
its holder must satisfy the banker that he is the proper man to
collect the payment of the cheque and he has to show his
identification. It can also be collected through clearing.
3.1.5(iii) Crossed Cheque
These cheques are not payable in cash at the counters of a
banker. It can only be credited to the payee’s account. If
there are two persons having accounts at the same bank, one
of the account holder issues a cross-cheque in favour of the
other account holder. Then the cheque will be credited to the
account of the person to whom the cheque was issued and
debited from the account of the person who has actually
issued the cheque.
3.1.6 Payment of Cheques
It is a banker’s primary contract to repay money received for his
customer’s account usually by honouring his cheques. It is a contractual
obligation of a banker to honor his customer’s cheques if the following
essentials are fulfilled.
a) Cheques should be in a proper form:
20

b) Cheque should not be crossed:
c) Cheque should be drawn on the particular bank:
d) Cheque should not mutilated:
e) Funds must be sufficient and available:
f) The Cheque should not be postdated or stale:
g) Cheque should be presented during banking hours
3.2 CLEARANCE DEPARTMENT
A clearinghouse is an association of commercial banks set up in given
locality for the purpose of interchange and settlement of credit claims.
The function of clearinghouse is performed by the central bank of a
country by tradition or by law. In Pakistan, the clearing system is
operated by the SBP. If SBP has no office at a place, then NBP, as a
representative of SBP act as a clearinghouse.
In practice the person receiving a Cheque as rarely a depositor of the
cheque at the same bank as the drawer. He deposits the cheque with his
bank other than of payer for the collection of the amount. Now the bank in
which the cheque has been deposited becomes a creditor of the drawer’s
bank. The depositor bank will pay his amount of the cheque by
transferring it from cash reserves if there are no offsetting transactions.
The banks on which the cheques are drawn become in debt to the bank in
which the cheques are deposited. At the same time, the creditors’ banks
receive large amounts of cheques drawn on other banks giving claims of
payment by them.
21

The easy, safe and most efficient way is to offset the reciprocal claims
against the other and receive only the net amount owned by them. This
facility of net interbank payment is provided by the clearinghouse.
3.2.1 in-Word Clearing Books
The bank uses this book for the purpose of recording all the
cheques that are being received by the bank in the first clearing.
All details of the cheques are recorded in this book.
3.2.2 Out-Word Clearing Book:
The bank uses outward clearing register for the purpose of
recording all the details of the cheques that the bank has
delivered to other banks.
3.3 ADVANCES DEPARTMENT
Advances department is one of the most sensitive and important
departments of the bank. The major portion of the profit is earned through
this department. The job of this department is to make proposals about the
loans. The Credit Management Division of Head Office directly controls
all the advances. As we known bank is a profit seeking institution. It
attracts surplus balances from the customers at low rate of interest and
makes advances at a higher rate of interest to the individuals and business
firms. Credit extensions are the most important activity of all financial
institutions, because it is the main source of earning. However, at the
same time, it is a very risky task and the risk cannot be completely
eliminated but could be minimized largely with certain techniques.
22

Any individual or company, who wants loan from NBP, first of all has
to undergo the filling of a prescribed form, which provides the
following information to the banker.
a) Existing financial position of a borrower at a particular branch.
b) Accounts details of other banks (if any).
c) Name & address of the borrower
d) Security against loan.
e) Exiting financial position of the company. (Balance Sheet & Income
Statement).
f) Signing a promissory note is also a requirement of lending, through
this note borrower promise that he will be responsible to pay the
certain amount of money with interest.
3.4 REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT
Remittance means a sum of money sent in payment for something. This
department deals with either the transfer of money from one bank to other
bank or from one branch to another branch for their customers. NBP offers
the following forms of remittances.
a) Demand Draft
b) Telegraphic Transfer
c) Pay Order
d) Mail Transfer
A) Demand Draft
23

Demand draft is a popular mode of transfer. The customer fills the
application form. Application form includes the beneficiary name,
account number and a sender’s name. The customer deposits the
amount of DD in the branch. After the payment the DD is prepared
and given to the customer. NBP officials note the transaction in
issuance register on the page of that branch of NBP on which DD is
drawn and will prepare the advice to send to that branch. The
account of the customer is credited when the DD advice from
originating branch comes to the responding branch and the account
is debited when DD comes for clearance. DD are of two types.
a) Open DD: Where direct payment is made.
b) Cross DD: Where payment is made though account.
B) Pay Order
Pay order is made for local transfer of money. Pay order is the most
convenient, simple and secure way of transfer of money. NBP takes
fixed commission of Rs. 25 per pay order from the account holder
and Rs. 100 from a non-account holder.
C) Telegraphic Transfer
Telegraphic transfer or cable transfer is the quickest method of
making remittances. Telegraphic transfer is an order by telegram to
a bank to pay a specified sum of money to the specified person. The
customer for requesting TT fills an application form. Vouchers are
prepared and sent by ordinary mail to keep the record. TT charges
are taken from the customer. No excise duty is charged on TT. The
TT charges are:
Telegram/ Fax Charges on TT = Actual-minimum Rs.125.
24

D) Mail Transfer
When the money is not required immediately, the remittances can
also be made by mail transfer (MT). Here the selling office of the
bank sends instructions in writing by mail to the paying bank for the
payment of a specified amount of money. Debiting to the buyer’s
account at the selling office and crediting to the recipient’s account
at the paying bank make the payment under this transfer. NBP taxes
mail charges from the applicant where no excise duty is charged.
Postage charges on mail transfer are actual minimum Rs. 40/- if sent
by registered post locally Rs.40/- if sent by registered post inland
on party’s request.
3.5 HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT

NBP Credit Group, their basic target is salaried Govt Employees.
This has increased NBP’s Credit portfolio with a major boost.

35

4.2 WEAKNESSES
a) LACK OF MARKETING EFFORT:
The bank does not promote its corporate image, services etc on a
competitive way. Hence lacks far behind in marketing effort .A
need for aggressive marketing in there in the era marketing in
now becoming a part of every organization.
b) NBP UNDER POLITICAL PRESSURE
The strong political hold of some parties and government and
their dominance is affecting the bank in a negative way. They
sometime have to provide loan under the pressure, which leads to
uneven and adjusted feeling in the bank employees.4.3.3
c) FAVORITISM AND NEPOTIS
The promotions and bonuses etc in the bank are often powered
by senior’s favoritism or depend upon their wills and decision.
This adds to the negative factors, which denominate the
employees thus resulting in affecting their performance
negatively.
d) LACK OF FINACIAL PRODUCT
The bank falls far behind when the innovative and new schemes
are consider. It has not been involved in the tug of war between
the competitors to the accounts and strengthens the existing
customer base. This stands out to be the major incompetence and
weakness of the banks.
37

e) INEFFICIENT COUNTER SERVICES IN THE RUSH
HOURS
During the rush hours, the bank is founded out to be a total flop
to handle the mob of people peaking from windows and doors.
The bank has deficiency to operate in the stages of rush hours
where the people find them services entangled in a situation of
nowhere because they are not well served.
f) LACK OF COMPUTERIZED NETWORK
The bank lack the strength of being powered by the network of
computers, which have saved time, energy and would have
lessened the mental stress, the employees have currently. This
would add to the strength if it were powered by network of
computers.
g) LACK OF MODERN EQUIPMENT
The bank lacks the modern Equipment that is note counting
machine computers. Even if there is any equipment they lack to
fall in the criteria of being rearmed as update and upgraded.
h) UNEVEN WORK DISTIBUTION.
The workload in NBP is not evenly distributed and the workload
tends to be more on some employees while others abscond away
from their responsibilities, which server as a demonization factor
for employees performing above average work.
i) OLD employee awareness
38

Computer awareness to old Staff of NBP is a weakness. They
should develop employee development & training programme to
effectively update their employees regarding computer
applications & upcoming CORE BANKING SOFTWARE of bank.
4.3 OPPORTUNITIES
a) ELECTRONIC BANKING
The world today has become a global village because of
advancement in the technologies, especially in communication
sector. More emphasis is now given to avail the modern
technologies to better the performances. NBP can utilize the
electronic banking opportunity to ensure on line banking 24
hours a day. This would give a competitive edge over others.
b) MICRO FINANCING
Because of the need for micro financing in the market, there are
lot of opportunities in this regard. Other banks have already
initiated, now the time has arrived when the NBP must realize it
and take on step to cater an ongoing demand.
c) CAR FINANCING
This is the major area where NBP has not competed with private
banks. As per repute of NBP they must enter in personal & car
financing products.
d) CORE BANKING SYSTEM
Implementation of the CORE BANKING SYSTEM is still an
opportunity, as till now none of the banks operating in Pakistan
39

is using this most updated & famous banking application. It will
lead NBP to smooth sailing environment as a leading bank in
technology as well as competing between other banks. This will
upgrade NBP from paper & ledger era to the smooth &
sophisticated computer application.
4.4 THREATS
a) EMERGENCE OF NEW COMPETITORS
The bank is facing threats with the emergence of new competitor
especially in terms of foreign banks. These foreign banks are
equipped with heavy financial power with excellent and
innovative ways of promoting and performing their services. The
bank has to take initiative in this regard or will find itself far
back in competition.
b) POLITICAL PRESSURE BY ELECTED GOVERNMENT
The ongoing shift in power in political arena in the country
effects the performance of the bank has to forward loans to
politically powerful persons which create a sense of insecurity
and demoralization in the customer as well as employees.
c) DOWNSIZING
The bank is currently acting upon the policy of downsizing
which threaten the environment of the bank Employees feel
insecurity in doing their jobs and work, hence affecting the over
all performance of employees negatively.
40

There exists no regular and specific system of the removal of
customer complaints. Now a day a need for total customer
satisfaction is emerging and in their demanding consequences
customer's complaints are ignored.

CHAPTER # 6
CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION
NBP is an effectively operating and profit making organization and
carrying out its activities under a specified system of procedure. The main
regulatory body is State Bank of Pakistan, which provides policy
guidelines and ensures that the money market operates on sound
professional basis while the head office specifies the whole procedure of
function and operations.
Here I am giving some suggestions, which in my view can add some input
for efficiency and better performance of NBP as an organization in
general and City branch in particular.
The recommendations are as follows:
6.1 Professional training
NBP staff lacks professionalism. They lack the necessary
training to do the job efficiently and properly. Although staff
colleges in all major cities but they are not performing well.
Banking council of Pakistan should also initiate some
programs to equip the staff with much needed professional
training.
6.2 Delegation of Authority
Employees of the bank should be given a task and authority
and they should be asked for their responsibility.
6.3 Performance Appraisal
44

The manager should strictly monitor the performance of every
staff member. All of them should be awarded according to
their performance and result in the shape of bonuses to
motivated and incite them to work more efficiently.
6.4 Changes in Policies
There should not be any abrupt policies change by the upper
management, as this practice hurts the customer confidences
in the bank. Government should make long-term policies.
6.5 Utility Bill Charges
Bank gets Rs. 5 to 8 to processes a utility bill, and it is very
tire, tough and hard job despite this working resulting in a
loss to then Rs 5 to 8 per transaction. These charges should
be increased to RS 10 per bill to enable the branch to cover
their handling costs and make some profit.
6.6 Link with the Head Quarter
160 major branches of NBP should established a direct link
with the, head quarter in Karachi, through Internet or
Intranet. This will make the functions and decision making of
the management easier and convenient.
6.7 Credit Card
National bank of Pakistan should start its operation in credit
card. These cards were very helpful for the ordinary customer
in general and the business people in particular. To make it
mores secure and to eliminate the misuse of it, the
management is required to keep proper security against the
card. But as NBP is a GOVT bank so most of the customer
gets defaulted and do not want to repay the CREDIT CARDS
45

amounts. Effective involvement of Collection officers for the
repayment of credited amount rather than treating and
provisioning them as NPL.
6.8 Cash Financing
In this mode of financing the amount of credit not utilized by
the borrower is remained tax-free. It is recommended that a
small amount of interest should be charge on this amount as
well because the bank gas kept-aside the amount for that
borrower and can not advance it anywhere.
6.9 Decreasing Administrative Expenses
Bank should their administrative expenses. This was Rs 8
billion in the year 2009. That can be done by lying off the
surplus pool of employee with golden handshakes scheme.
The branches that are not much used could also be closed.
Employee can also be how to control the bank expenses. That
will give positive results in the future.
6.10 Needs to be Flexible in credit Policy
As mentioned earlier, NBP is very conservative in advances
and loans policy. It reduces the investment opportunities.
Also loans should be given to the small businessmen and the
agriculture sector at the low markup rate. It should adopt
flexible credit policy while giving credit to the agriculture
sector.
46

Not only it will be economical but will also reduce the extra
burden of work of the bank. It will also help in reducing the
use of excessive paper work.
6.11 Improper Distribution of Work
Proper distribution work leads to success in every
organization. Proper distribution of work prevents the
employee from over and under work situation. So for a
smooth running of an organization proper distribution of work
is the hint to be followed.
During my internship I observed that there was no proper
distribution of work in the bank. I saw that some of the
employee worked like ants other sat idle starting here and
there. So this created a lot of over work situation for while
relaxation for other.
6.12 Inter Departmental Transfer
I watched during my internship that, there is number of
employee who have worked on one seat for many a year. It
can have negative effects motivation of employee who is hard
working and intelligent. Take the example of advances
section. In advance section if the employee is transfer after
sixth month or seven month, how can he be able to show his
performances and how can he be able to know the bank
customer in a short period of time.
6.13 Complaints of Customer
47

There should be an information desk to provide the
information and to receive the complaints of the customer in
the bank.
There is no complaint box available in the branch and not any
person appointed to hear the complaints.
Every person cannot go to the manager for the complaint
because most of the people are hesitant. So I suggest
management to install a compliant box in the branch, and
recruit a special person for that guidance of the customer
when they are unable to manage some difficulties in banking
matters.
6.14 Organizational Commitment
It is suggested that employees working on daily wages basis
should be given some benefits, which the other employees are
getting. Their salaries must increase according to efficiency,
performance and service.
6.15 Managerial Leadership
In the analysis, we have discussed the difficulties of the
assistant in taking any initiative; therefore it is recommended
that the assistants should he given special training to make
them ready for the leadership.
6.16 Housing and House Hold Goods loans
Bank should initiate these loans because most of bank’s
customers are middle class and they cannot afford to buy
house or household goods at once by their own.
48

6.17 SOME MORE Solutions / Improvements suggested
After the completion of my internship in the NBP I am able to
give some suggestions for the betterment of the organization.
During the internship we had discussions with different
persons like manager, operational manager different officers
employees and customers. In the light of these discussions we
are able to give some suggestions which are given below.
 Use of modern technology.
 Training and Development of Employees
 Frequent Communication
 Promotion on the basis of Ability
